Hainbuch’s TOPlus mini-hexagonal collet chuck is designed for tool accessibility by reducing the profile contour. Because of tool accessibility, the mini-chucks use shorter and stable tools on the main and sub-spindles. This is said to directly influence the surface finish and tool life.

The hexagonal configuration is said to offer 25 percent more clamping force than other mini-versions. The clamping force enables rigidity for increased metal removal rates, increased output and vibration dampening. In addition, the mini-chuck is resistant to contamination because of the full-surface contact of the clamping element in the clamping device body.
